Niko Kovac, VfL Wolfsburg coach, and Max Kruse will probably no longer be good friends. The coach made fun of his player on Friday.
Earlier this year, the former national team player returned Max Kruse to the VfL Wolfsburg Return. After all, Lower Saxony cost the 34-year-old’s services five million euros. A lot has happened since then.
His great lawyer Florian Kohfeldt was fired and the cult professional quickly fell out of favor with new coach Niko Kovac. In September he was identified for “lack of concentration” and “lack of commitment”.
On Friday, the former champion coach of FC Bayern Munich gave his skilled striker a little dig: when a journalist was asked how the 34-year-old’s medical examination went, the Croatian coach replied on Friday: “The exam shows that it’s still not what playing football or training should be like. But didn’t he post it, Max? “
The eccentric footballer now runs his own YouTube account with his wife.
Kruse’s argument is no longer important to Kovac, however. He had already publicly stated that he would no longer play for the club. Kruse’s future is still open. A Kruse winter change is considered probable. The Wolfsburg chapter could therefore end for him after the next three days of competition before the anticipated winter break of the World Cup.
In addition to the lack of professionalism, the 14-time international Kruse is also accused of having a bad influence on the rest of the team. The former player of Werder Bremen, Union Berlin, Borussia Mönchengladbach and SC Freiburg still has a contract with Wolves until the end of June 2023.
The Bundesliga football team Wolfsburg will play on Saturday in Mainz 05 (15:30 / Sky). In Mainz the Wolves, who have not been defeated in six official matches, want to confirm their good form. “The results give us the right to come to Mainz with our heads held high,” said Kovac. It is becoming clear that players will start with the “evidence and self-confidence” they lacked at the start of the season.
